[glug-t] april's mom

hi vijay,
i had sent this mail earlier, but somehow didn't appear=20
in the mailing list. i am sending it again.
-------x---------
sorry for the delay(of 3 months). here's what we did in=20
April's meeting:

----------------------------------------
April's meeting was overlapped by final examinations of=20
almost all the collegs in Trichy. Hence the turnover was=20
quite low, only 5 of us were there. Benjamine and two=20
students from SASTRA were the first to come. They saw the=20
academy closed and thought to wait for others. Luckly, as=20
they were about to move, anand saha, who as to give a
lecture on 'Threading on Linux platform', arrived. ACCEL=20
academy was opened by that time and we proceeded to our=20
usual classroom. RECTian Palliniappan came a little late
and joined us. We realized that this is it .. the final=20
strength.
Saha started by explaining a few concepts pertinent to
understanding threading concept, like process management,
process creation(fork and exec system calls), inter process=20
communication, layout of a program in the memory etc. Threads
are generated by creating the image of a program already in=20
the memory. Threads of the same program share their code=20
segment, data segment, stack segment etc. So the action of=20
one thread can affect the functioning of another. This is=20
quite different from fork()ing off a process, in which=20
the child shares just the code segment with the parent,=20
but have different data, satck etc. segment. He also=20
discussed kernel level threads and user level threads.
This was followed by explaining the pthread library and=20
the various functions it offers to create and manage threads.
The meeting ended by live demonstration of small snippets of
programs which demonstrated the basic functioning of=20
threading system calls.
Saha took a photograph of the members present, specially=20
Benjaminem, as both of them were to leave Trichy after=20
completing their degrees in may. Then we had juice at MG Gate.
Cheeeers!!

Thus was the meeting of April.
